Lord Kilclooney: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	How many traffic wardens were on duty in Armagh city centre between 3:30 and 4:00pm on 29 October.

Lord Rooker: The deployment of traffic wardens is an operational matter for the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The PSNI does not disclose specific numbers of police officers on duty at points in time, and would apply the same criteria to traffic wardens until such times as DRD assumes responsibility for them in autumn 2006.

Hepatitis C Inadvertent Blood Infection: Payment Schemes

Lord Morris of Manchester: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	Whether they will reconsider the decision not to give financial help from the Skipton fund to the widows and other dependants of haemophilia patients who have died from infection with hepatitis C from contaminated National Health Service blood and blood products.

Baroness Scotland of Asthal: Neither the phrase "sensitive personal information" nor the phrase "particularly sensitive information" has a technical or defined meaning in relation to the national identity register. The Identity Cards Bill establishes a national identity register as a record of "registrable facts" about individuals as set out in Clause 1(5) of the Bill. The only information that may be recorded in the register is as provided for in Clause 3 and listed at Schedule 1 of the Bill. This does not include what, in the ordinary meaning of the words, could be described as particularly sensitive information such as medical or criminal records. Clause 1(6) of the Bill prevents the inclusion of any personal reference number under Clause 1(5)(g)—such as a police national computer reference number—that would tend to reveal any "sensitive personal data" within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998 (c.29).

Lord Hylton: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	Whether they have any future intention of selling (a) non-anonymised and (b) anonymised data from the National Identity Register to private sector individuals or organisations; and, if so, why.
